A rather surprisingly big entry for SIGUR ROS, still hugely popular, years on. (The album chart, is compiled by info from stores/download sites up to, and including Wednesday night). Here`s the albums in June 1980 w/k ending 5th Jul 1980 01 03 FLESH AND BLOOD - ROXY MUSIC 02 02 HOT WAX - VARIOUS ARTISTS 03 01 PETER GABRIEL - PETER GABRIEL 04 04 MCCARTNEY 2 - PAUL MCCARTNEY 05 NE SAVED - BOB DYLAN 06 14 THE PHOTOS - THE PHOTOS 07 07 MAGIC REGGAE - VARIOUS ARTISTS 08 08 SKY 2 - SKY 09 05 ME MYSELF I - JOAN ARMATRADING 10 NE UPRISING - BOB MARLEY 11 06 I JUST CAN`T STOP IT - THE BEAT 12 09 READY AND WILLING - WHITESNAKE 13 10 CHAMPAGNE AND ROSES - VARIOUS 14 17 REGATTA DE BLANC - POLICE 15 20 DUKE - GENESIS 16 11 OFF THE WALL - MICHAEL JACKSON 17 21 DEFECTOR - STEVE HACKETT 18 13 SHINE - AVERAGE WHITE BAND 19 12 MAGIC OF BONEY M - BONEY M 20 23 DIANA - DIANA ROSS ROXY MUSIC winning the album race in 1980. PETER GABRIEL used self-titled album names, over and over again, this was the third one, to carry his own name (and not the last, either). HOT WAX was the latest K-tel album...PAUL MCCARTNEY issued an album, credited to just him, after years, of using Wings, as performers...SKY issued their second album, of rock-type classical pieces...BOB MARLEY resurged, and put more singles, into the chart too...BOB DYLAN is still Mr Forever, although some would say, his songs, sound better when performed, by other people!!...The PHOTOS were a striking uk group led by, the even more striking WENDY WU. They never had any single success, but all the newspaper coverage, of the very beautiful Wendy, put their album, right up in the top 10...JOAN ARMATRADING also used the title, of her album, for a single, as did the ROLLING STONES...It was back to the 50s, for CHAMPAGNE AND ROSES...ELTON JOHN had 21 songs, on his 33rpm LP...WHITESNAKE provided the heavy rock...and the slight rock of STEVE HACKETT, and not forgetting the echoes, of DIANA ROSS in her latest compilation. Here are 1980`s singles w/k ending 5th Jul 1980 01 01 CRYING - DON MCLEAN 02 02 FUNKY TOWN - LIPPS INC. 03 03 BACK TOGETHER AGAIN - ROBERTA FLACK/DONNY HATHAWAY 04 05 EVERYBODY`S GOT TO LEARN SOMETHING - KORGIS 05 20 XANADU - OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN/ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA 06 17 JUMP TO THE BEAT - STACY LATTISAW 07 09 SIMON TEMPLAR/TWO PINTS OF LAGER - SPLODGENESSABOUNDS 08 06 BEHIND THE GROOVE - TEENA MARIE 09 24 WATERFALLS - PAUL MCCARTNEY 10 19 MY WAY OF THINKING/I THINK IT`S GOING TO RAIN - UB40 11 08 SUBSTITUTE - LIQUID GOLD 12 04 THEME FROM MASH - THE MASH 13 15 PLAY THE GAME - QUEEN 14 34 USE IT UP AND WEAR IT OUT - ODDYSEY 15 07 LET`S GET SERIOUS - JERMAINE JACKSON/STEVIE WONDER 16 22 TO BE OR NOT TO BE - B.A. ROBERTSON 17 35 COULD YOU BE LOVED - BOB MARLEY 18 14 MESSAGES - ORCHESTRAL MANOUEVERES IN THE DARK 19 32 747 STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT - SAXON 20 NE CUPID-I`VE LOVED YOU FOR A LONG TIME - DETROIT SPINNERS 21 10 YOU GAVE ME LOVE - CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR 22 18 MIDNIGHT DYNAMOS - MATCHBOX 23 13 RAT RACE/RUDE BOYS OUTA JAIL - SPECIALS 24 28 CHRISTINE - SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES 25 11 OVER YOU - ROXY MUSIC 26 12 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT - HOT CHOCOLATE 27 26 CHINA TOWN - THIN LIZZY 28 29 IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG I DON`T WANT TO BE RIGHT - ROD STEWART 29 21 D-A-A-ANCE - LAMBRETTAS 30 23 I`M ALIVE - ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA 31 16 BREAKING THE LAW - JUDAS PRIEST 32 38 LET`S HANG ON - DARTS 33 NE LOVE WILL TEAR US APART - JOY DIVISION 34 41 COMPUTER GAMES - YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA 35 30 I`M NOT YOUR STEPPING STONE - SEX PISTOLS 36 31 THE SCRATCH - SURFACE NOISE 37 NE A LOVER`S HOLIDAY/GLOW OF LOVE - CHANGE 38 42 WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE - AC/DC 39 45 LIP UP FATTY - BAD MANNERS 40 43 ME MYSELF I - JOAN ARMATRADING 3 weeks at the top for DON MCCLEAN back in the chart, after 8 years, covering ROY ORBISON`a 1961 minor hit. LIPPS INC, featured the sounds of CYNTHIA JOHNSON doing the lead...ROBERTA FLACK was back, with the late DONNY HATHAWAY...The KORGIS did the original of the hit, that became "I NEED YOUR LOVIN", some years later...STACY LATTISAW spiced up the disco...SPLODGENESSABOUNDS double Aed with SIMON TEMPLAR (which was a take, on the theme to the RETURN OF THE SAINT, and TWO PINTS OF LAGER was all about waiting at the bar, and not getting served...I know the feeling, to well!! UB40 had another double A...TEENA MARIE, ODDYSEY, CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR, along with LIQUID GOLD gave us more disco...LIQUID GOLD actually started promising, but began to sound all their songs, alike, and even a go at the same SONG FOR EUROPE in 1981, along with BUCKS FIZZ, could not revive their hits...QUEEN played the game, and missed the top 10...The best US comedy series ever, came to the fore in the UK, with the theme from MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital)...DETROIT SPINNERS cut a 1961 SAM COOKE hit...JERMAINE JACKSON joined with STEVIE WONDER...SAXON got heavy, and had about 3 singles in the top 75, along with AC/DC, who had about 5!...ZANADU was the top film, all bout rollerskating...that was a big flop, but the music, from it, gave OLIVIA and ELO, a charttopper, and ELO had many other hits, from the film....In some circles the film, of XANADU is known as XANADUDU (i.e. slang)...SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES sang about CHRISTINE (THE STRAWBERRY GIRL)...JUDAS PRIEST was back (a very long rock giant, of rock)...The SEX PISTOLS were virtually finished with, and covered an old MONKEES number...CHANGE featured the talents of LUTHER VANDROSS...BAD MANNERS had their second hit, and the YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA issued a single, that featured those tunes, from the arcade SPACE INVADERS etc games. (The vintage charts, were compiled by Record Business, for Independant Radio, in 1980). Dave will complete, over to you Dave...

Without dowloads alone Mistress Mabel - Fratellis are at 40. = Is the position, on Chart Show tv`s chart. 48 on there, is Mystery Jets, 49 is Fratellis, and Buy Now are 50. No surprises, for NE YO, selling 5,500 more than, COLDPLAY. Outside the top 50 are: ESTELLE - NO SUBSTITUTE LOVE at 53, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS at 54, BUY NOW at 55...KOOKS - SHINE ON at 64, USHER - MOVING MOUNTAINS at 65, LYNRYD SKYNYRD at 67...SNOW PATROL re-enter the top 70, at 69...N FORCE/DARREN STYLES creeps in at 75, with the physical release. Also, coming in to the chart is BON JOVI - WE GOT IT GOING ON. Losers this week are DENISE LOPEZ, and CRAIG DAVID...Poor Craig get`s into, a physical top 40, along with Denise, but Craig himself, in the proper chart, only gets number 143!! Next week, look out for albums from MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, SETH LAKEMAN, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS, MOTLEY CRUE, THE SUBWAYS, and Various artist comp "HED KANDI MIX SUMMER O8". Look out for singles from DIZEE RASCAL, GOLDFRAPP, and ULTRABEAT/DARREN STYLES...Will DIZEE RASCAL beat BUSTA RYMES to number one, or can JORDIN SPARKS, go there, on downloads alone? NOTE: REMEMBER THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL CHART. It is based on Chart Show tv`s chart, minus airplay, with added sales, to bring it up to date. Come Sunday, of course, our chart tonight, will be very, very close to Radio One`s. Don`t forget Chart Show tv, play the complete airplay/sales top 40, with bubblers, and new releases, every Saturday 4 - 7.30pm (Sky Digital Channel 355, and FreeSat Channel 500)...getting in nearly 50 videos in a top 40 countdown, that breaks off, the previous Wednesday evening. Which is an alternative, to the Box, and the Hits, because from next Tuesday, they are not running the Official Chart, anymore. No, The Box, and the Hits, are running Hit40uk, from now on, and that chart is full of airplay, and very slow moving. Where as, Chart Show tv`s is much more sales related, than Hit40uk. Similarly, MTV Hits run the Hits30 countdown, on Saturdays between 9 - 11.30pm. That one, is also MTV airplay, and sales.
June 27, 200817 yr Author thanks for the charts! 1980 was a fairly decent year for music though there were some shocking #1s, of which Crying was one... it was also the year of the BBC musicians strike which took TOTP off air for several weeks, in May and June if I remember. My favourite song from this chart was Christine by Siouxsie And The Banshees, their second in a run of 5 excellent singles in the years 1980 and 1981. Of these, Spellbound from June 1981 was the best... Speaking of which, can I put in a request for 1981 for this chart next week, unless it has been done recently...? I`ve already planned next Friday`s oldies, but Robbie, I will do 1981, on the 11th July, Okay?
June 27, 200817 yr Author June 1980 was a good year for the albums, 2 of my all time favourite albums in there, Regatta De Blanc by The Police, and Flesh & Blood by Roxy Music. And this September coming I be celebrating 30 years of doing the charts, I first started September 79 writing down the chart in my big notepad while listening to Peter Powell on a Tuesday evenings at 6pm, while my mother shouting at me "turn that radio off and come down and get your dinner" :lol: my mum always had to do dinner at 6pm, so I took pad down while I was eating, I was listening to the chart and writing it down :lol: how sad I was :ph34r: :rofl: I used to write it down too. I cheated though by copying the top 40, from THE SUN! Previously, to the 80s, all the papers, Sun. Mirror, Mail, and Sunday People, all printed the Melody Maker top 20. I remember trying, to follow the chart, in the Sunday People, while listening to Tom Browne and the Radio One top 20, and was confused, because it was all, out of sync! I often, wondered why no papers (other than Record Busines) printed the Independant Radio charts, until 1984. Even more so, with the Radio One, chart. It did appear in some, local newspapers, around 1979.
June 27, 200817 yr I`ve already planned next Friday`s oldies, but Robbie, I will do 1981, on the 11th July, Okay?no problem, that will do fine
June 28, 200817 yr :o at Clubland 13 not being the biggest selling compilation The 3, 4, and 5 were pretty close there. So, Chilled, Sigur Ros, and Clubland 13, may well change around, for the Official combined album chart.
